00:01You
00:21And how does one describe being Prince of Wales?
00:30I mean, it's hardly a job, still less a vocation, it's simply a predicament.
00:39The previous princes of Wales have been happy to have misspinned their lives in idle dissipation,
00:43but my problem is I can't bear idles or dissipation.
00:49Every day I meet people from all walks of life,
00:53ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs, men and women my age,
00:57who have gone out into the world and made their mark.
01:03It's precisely the thing that I'm not allowed to do.
01:12In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers.
01:17Instead, what am I? I'm just a useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.
01:33There I go again. Always a little wine with my cheese.
01:38No, it just feels so good to tell it as it is to close friends.
01:42We understand. You're a criminally wasted resource, sir.
01:47Just look at the extraordinary work you do with the Prince's Trust.
01:50Turning young lives around, giving out thousands of grants a year.
01:55Twenty thousand, to be precise.
01:57Our latest initiative is this funding of evening centres up and down the country
02:02where children from crowded and low-income households can come and do their homework.
02:08What a wonderful idea. Doesn't sound like an ornament gathering dust to me.
02:14Thank you, Nancy.
02:15Now, the day's work is still not done, so will you excuse me?
02:21Good night. Good night, sir.
02:23Good night.
02:24Good night.
02:58Good night.
02:59Good morning.
03:00Good night.
03:01Good night.
03:13Andrew.
03:14Your Royal Highness.
03:16That's fine now.
03:18Let's go.
03:20Mummy?
03:26Is she, um...
03:27She'll be with you in just a moment.
03:28I have to wait till she picks up in the other room.
03:34So is everyone, uh, there together?
03:38Yes. All here.
03:40Such a special time of year.
03:42And is it just the four of you for Christmas, or...?
03:45I believe that's her now, sir.
03:48Right, I'm playing. Move up.
03:50Laura, you've been cheating again.
03:52Hello.
03:54I wish you would answer the phone.
03:56I never know what to say.
03:57We're alone now.
03:59I'm in the bedroom.
04:01In bed?
04:02On top of it.
04:04Lucky old bed.
04:07Are you still in Tessha?
04:08I am, yeah.
04:11Missing you terribly.
04:14Back soon, though, my darling.
04:17Are you still making the speech in Oxford tomorrow?
04:20Yes.
04:21That's the reason I called, actually.
04:22Could you bear to quickly listen to it?
04:24Is it very long?
04:25Only we're a full house.
04:27No, no, no. Short and punchy.
04:29And a bit controversial.
04:30Which is why I want your opinion.
04:33You always know best when to rein me in.
04:35All right.
04:39Remind me of the subject.
04:41The teaching of English language in schools.
04:44It is quite astounding to think that in England, we have produced one of the world's most beautiful languages.
04:51However, the rate at which that language is degenerating has become a cause for concern.
04:57It's a tragedy for the next generation that in the birthplace of the language of Keats, of Shelley, of Shakespeare,
05:04efforts to preserve that language and uphold the standards of its teaching are no longer a priority.
05:10If we look at the way English is used in business, in the popular press, or on television programs, or
05:17indeed in our schools, universities, and institutions, we'll see just how important...
05:34What's the address?
05:35Front drive, front drive.
05:37And what town are you in?
05:38A chapter.
05:39Emergency. Tell me exactly what's happened.
05:41Emergency.
05:42He's so hard.
05:43He's so hard.
05:45He's so hard.
05:45He's so hard.
05:47He's so hard.
05:47He's so hard.
05:48He's so hard.
05:49He's so hard.
05:51Getting started to find ahana's miracle from everybody.
05:53Every night.
05:55It's back in east,lectionavy.
05:56The place of sighs.
05:58Uh,Aw yeah, then, now, in hello, Ryan.很
06:03нач secrecy. Thank
06:03you, Ryan. Is
06:03that fire? Yeah.
06:04Just listen
06:05now, can you hear him breathe? Yeah,
06:07no, he's doing, he is breathe. He's
06:09checking the piss, he's lost in! A baby's
06:11in here? Sir, sir,
06:13can you call him down and tell me exactly where- See, just haunt
06:16me but of your great mother tongue.
06:18everything happens at the end of the day and every situation is a win-win as prince of wales
06:27i won't be thanked saying this but the rock begins in the very institutions whose duty it is
06:34to preserve our proud linguistic and cultural heritage if we want to produce the next generation
06:41of great writers we must use our education system to protect what is surely our greatest
06:47national export the english language which like any language is so much more than a collection of
06:55words it's a means of building bridges between people of different backgrounds cultures and
07:02generations what do you think i think it's brilliant i mean you go further our language is like an
07:11endangered species it needs to be protected it's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered
07:17oh i quite agree i read it to my private secretary thinks i might have gone too far i suppose
07:23it
07:23might be better to leave the audience wanting more yes i suppose one has to be aware of it in
07:30the room
07:32just feel one's way along with it if you know what i mean
07:46it's too dangerous if we run this we'd risk being responsible for breaking up a royal marriage
07:55but uh i don't want our friend crossing the street and selling it to anyone else either
08:03so pay him what he wants keep the tape put it in the safe and hope for another day
08:12be gone to sleep now i'm here
08:20night of you adore you
08:26night
08:28night
08:30night
08:31night
08:32night
08:32night
10:10You are both resolved on this.
10:14No doubts, no hesitancy.
10:19This is really what you want.
10:47Very well.
17:03is hoping to find ways forward it might be useful to acknowledge that the
17:11solution we are looking for could be right under our noses
17:40hey lord yes
17:48yep
17:54yep
17:59right
18:03Wait, wait, wait, wait.
18:21What's that?
18:44The recording was made by an amateur radio enthusiast.
18:49Having correctly identified your voices, he then sold it to the Daily Mirror.
18:54At the time, the newspaper decided not to go ahead with it
18:57because of the potential damage it might do to the royal marriage.
19:01But now that you and the Princess of Wales have officially separated the newspaper fields at liberty to publish.
19:08And I think we must brace ourselves for the transcripts to be published in the UK in the coming days.
19:17How can they get away with this?
19:22It's a private conversation.
19:25Private matter between two adults. No one else's business.
19:28Unfortunately, sir, while the intentional interception of private phone calls is illegal,
19:34the amateur radio operator in this case claims to have stumbled upon the conversation by chance,
19:40which could be difficult to disapprove.
19:44Don't you remember the conversation?
19:47Have we discovered what was actually said?
19:51No details yet, but we're told it was intimate.
19:58Very intimate.
20:03What do you think?
20:05I think it's brilliant.
20:07I think you could go further.
20:11Our language is like an endangered species.
20:13It needs to be protected.
20:15It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
20:18Oh, I quite agree.
20:19I really might cry with the secretary.
20:21He thinks I might have gone too far.
20:24I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
20:30Yes.
20:32I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
20:35Just feel one's way along with it.
20:38If you know what I mean.
20:40Hmm.
20:42You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
20:45Stop it.
20:50Oh, God, I want to feel my way along you.
20:54All over you.
20:55Up and down you.
20:57In and out.
20:58Particularly in and out.
21:00Oh, that's just what I need at the moment.
21:03Is it?
21:05I know it would revive me.
21:08But I can't bear a Sunday night without you.
21:12God.
21:13It's like that program Start the Week.
21:16I can't start the week without you.
21:19I fill up your tank.
21:20Yes, you do.
21:22So you can cope.
21:23Then I'm all right.
21:26What about me?
21:29The trouble is I need you several times a week.
21:33So do I.
21:35I need you all the week.
21:38I need you all the time.
21:41Oh, darling, I just want you now.
21:44Do you?
21:46Hmm.
21:47So do I.
21:48Desperately.
21:49Desperately.
21:50God, I wish I could just...
21:53live inside your trousers or something so much easier.
21:57What are you going to turn into?
21:58A pair of knickers?
22:00Well, God forbid, a tampax is just my luck.
22:05A complete idiot.
22:07What a wonderful idea.
22:10My luck to get chucked down the lavatrons.
22:13Keep on going on and on forever.
22:15Swirling around on top, never going down.
22:17Darling.
22:19Till the next one comes through.
22:21Perhaps you could just come back as a box.
22:24What sort of box?
22:26A box of tampax.
22:28You could just keep going.
22:30That's true.
22:36Have you gone to sleep?
22:38No, I'm here.
22:41Will you ring me when you wake up?
22:44Night-night, my darling.
22:46I do love you.
22:48Love you too.
22:52Don't want to say goodbye.
22:54Neither do I.
22:58But you must get some sleep.
23:03Bye, darling.
23:06Bye.
23:08Bye.
23:10Press the button.
23:12I'm going to press the tit.
23:14My darling, I wish you were pressing mine.
23:16God, say do I.
23:20Harder and harder.
23:22Oh, darling.
23:27Night.
23:30Night.
23:31Love you.
23:33I adore you.
23:36Night.

23:39Night.
23:46Night.
23:49Night.
23:51Night.
23:52Night.

24:26THE END
24:31SCANDAL MAKING HEADLINES
24:32YET ANOTHER BITTER BLOW TO A MONKEY CRISIS
24:36SALLY HINKMAN, NBC NEWS, LONDON
24:44HERE, I BOUGHT YOU SOME
24:47WEAPONS GRADE ENTIRELY CHEMICAL COLD MEDICATION

25:24YOU'VE BOUGHT A GREAT MANY OF YOUR PROBLEMS UPON YOURSELF
25:29BUT NO ONE DESERVES THIS
25:33THANK YOU
25:38IT'S THE HYPOCRISY THAT GETS ME
25:41AS IF NONE OF THESE JOURNALISTS HAVE EVER SPOKEN TO A LOVER OVER THE PHONE
25:44AND SAID EMBARRASSING THINGS
25:47IT WAS ALL A BIT EMBARRASSING, WASN'T IT?
25:51IT WAS A LITTLE GYNECOLOGICAL
25:54FOR MY TASTE
25:57I'VE ALSO TAKEN MY HEAD OUT OF MY HANDS AND MY FINGERS OUT OF MY THROAT
26:02GOD
26:03THERE WAS A SURPRISING RESIDUE LIFT
26:07OF BEING TOUCHED BY TWO TEENAGERS OF A CERTAIN AGE
26:12BEING SO GLORIOUSLY HUMAN AND ENTIRELY IN LOVE
26:23FOR THAT ALONE YOU DESERVE SOME CREDIT
26:27IN THIS FAMILY ESPECIALLY
26:30YOU ARE SWEET
26:34I DOUBT OUR DEAR PAPA WILL SEE IT THAT WAY
26:45ALL RIGHT
26:49I'LL SPEAK TO YOU TOMORROW
26:58IF I WEREN'T SO ASHAMED
26:59I MIGHT CONFESS TO ADMIRATION OF THE SHEER SCALE OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENT
27:04IN ONE FELL SWOOP
27:06YOU'VE SUCCEEDED IN ALIENATING THE CHURCH OVER YOUR MORAL FITNESS
27:10THE POLITICIANS OVER YOUR CONDUCT UNBECOMING
27:13THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IS IN UPROAR
27:16THEY'RE SAYING WE'VE PRESSED THE SELF-DESTRUCT BUTTON
27:22AMONG YOUR MANY ENTIRELY UNJUSTIFIED MILITARY HONORS
27:27IS COLONEL-IN-CHIEF OF THE ROYAL REGIMENT OF WALES
27:32I WONDER IF YOU MIGHT REMIND US OF THEIR MOTTO
27:39IN ENGLISH
27:43BETTER DEATH THAN DISHONOR
27:44WHAT'S THAT? SPEAK UP-
27:45BETTER DEATH THAN DISHONOR
27:49A SENTIMENT ON WHICH YOU WOULD DO WELL TO REFLECT
28:01ARE YOU STILL HERE?
28:20YOU'RE SO PAINFUL
28:22AND SO PUBLIC
28:27SO UNNECESSARY TOO
28:30EVERYONE IN H.Q. IS FRIGHTENED
28:31MY DEAR FATHER INCLUDED
28:33THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THE WORLD HAS CHANGED
28:35AND EVERYONE'S JUST BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE
28:38THAT'S NO EXCUSE FOR BRITUITO SADISTIC EXHIBITIONISM
28:42SOUNDS LIKE PLAYGROUND BULLYING
28:46THE WAY THE SYCOPHANTS ALL NODDED
28:50GRATEFUL THAT IT'S INVECTIVE
28:51WASN'T DIRECTED AT THEM FOR ONCE
28:56IT LEAVES ME NO CHOICE BUT TO...
29:02TO PROTECT YOURSELF
29:07TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF
29:14YES
29:23HISTORIANS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PINPOINT
29:24A MOMENT WHEN THE BREAKAWAY HAPPENED
29:26BECAUSE NOTHING OFFICIAL HAS HAPPENED
29:28BUT A CHANGE IS HAPPENING
29:30I ASK IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU
29:32WHAT DO YOU SEE NOT OLD STUFFY COURTIES
29:34BUT YOUNG PROFESSIONAL MEN AND WOMEN OF TODAY
29:38THE WAY AHEAD GROUP OR THE LAGGING BEHIND GROUP
29:41AS I LIKE TO CALL IT
29:43WAS SET UP TO PREPARE THE MONARCHY
29:44FOR THE COMING MILLENNIUM
29:45BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THEY HOLD SOME CONFUSION
29:47AS TO WHICH MILLENNIUM WE'RE ACTUALLY IN
29:50I THINK AS A GUIDING PRINCIPLE
29:52IF WE'RE INTERESTED IN SAVING THE MONARCHY
29:53WE SHOULD DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE
29:55OF WHAT THE WAY AHEAD GROUP RECOMMENDS
29:57I THINK WE ALL AGREE
29:58AND POLLS CERTAINLY SHOW THAT THE MONARCHY IS IN A RUT
30:00A DANGEROUS RUT
30:02IT'S VITAL THAT PEOPLE ARE GIVEN A REASON TO BELIEVE IN
30:05AND BE EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE
30:07AND IF ONE ASKS ONSELF WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE MONARCHY IS
30:09AND THE ANSWER IS
30:10IT'S YOU, SIR
30:12BUT RIGHT NOW THE PROBLEM IS
30:13NO ONE KNOWS YOU
30:15THEY DON'T KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE
30:16OR WHAT YOU THINK OR FEEL
30:17I QUITE AGREE
30:20BUT WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT THAT?
30:23WELL, ONE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD
30:25WAS THAT, UM, PERHAPS A MATURE, PROGRESSIVE, OPEN TELEVISION SPECIAL
30:31WOULD BE A WAY TO GO
30:32WHERE THE PRINCE OF WALES IS FINALLY GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY
30:35TO FREELY AIR HIS VOICE
30:38ALONGSIDE AN EXPANSIVE AND WIDE-RANGING INTERVIEW
30:41WE COULD GRANT CAMERAS
30:43UNPRECEDENTED ACCESS TO A FUTURE KING AT WORK
30:45AN INTIMATE AND AUTHORITATIVE PROFILE
30:49OF AN ENLIGHTENED, THOUGHTFUL, FORWARD-THINKING MAN
30:53WHO HAS BEEN PRINCE OF WALES FOR A QUARTER OF A CENTURY
30:56AND A CHANCE FOR HIM TO LAY OUT HIS VISION
30:58FOR A MODERN MONARCHY, A MODERN BRITAN
31:01WHO ARE YOU THINKING OF AS THE INTERVIEWER?
31:04WELL, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CANDIDATES
31:06BUT THE NAME WE'RE MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS
31:08IS JONATHAN DIMBLEBY
31:12HE'S SERIOUS, HE'S FORTHRITE, HE'S INDEPENDENT
31:15MINDED
31:19PEOPLE WILL KNOW THAT IT'S NOT PUFFERY
31:22OR CHOCOLATE BOX ROYALISM WITH DIMBLEBY
31:25THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF RISK
31:29HE'S BOUND TO ASK ABOUT THE MARRIAGE AT SOME POINT
31:33BUT IN OUR VIEW, THERE'S A FAR GREATER PROSPECT OF REWARD
32:07DIMBLEBY
32:08I'VE BEEN BEASURED
32:13JUST FOR YOU SET?
32:15GOOD
32:15been plagued by a certain amount of adversity do you think with all these
32:21setbacks to your family and to you personally that the monarchy can still
32:27survive well more than that I hope it can can flourish but to do so it needs to
32:36adapt it's no secret that I'm open to the idea of reform I think that we're at
32:43make or break time for the monarchy we need to be radical but of course there's
32:48only so much that I can do as Prince of Wales as King you will also find
32:55yourself at the head of an established church in the past you have shown an
32:59interest in other faiths how does that sit with a future role as supreme governor
33:04of the Church of England defender of the faith of course I prefer to think of
33:10myself not as defender of just one faith the Church of England but as defender
33:16of faith in general why should the Church of England have a monopoly on the crown
33:22what about the Jews and Catholics and Sikhs and Muslims and Hindus are they not its
33:27subjects as well there is of course one question above all that burns in the
33:33public's mind and that relates to your marriage to the princess of Wales one of
33:38the most serious allegations concerning your marriage is that you were
33:42repeatedly unfaithful and that your close association with Camilla Parker Bowles
33:47was a deciding factor in its collapse how do you answer that
33:55mrs. Parker Bowles is a dear friend of mine a wonderful friend that I'm jolly lucky to have
34:04and even within a marriage one must still nurture outside friendships and mrs. Parker Bowles is just
34:13one of a number of friends that I've been close to over the years when you married your wife you
34:22made a pledge before God to uphold your wedding vows did you at least try to be
34:29faithful from the start of course and were you yes until
34:45until it became obvious that the marriage couldn't be saved both of us having done our best
34:59at which point I
35:00at which point I tried to do my duty but there was uh there was nothing to be done
35:16so yes uh old friendships were rekindled
35:26you've been very forthright in your response very honest is it your hope that this issue will now
35:34go away well I'd certainly prefer it
35:40it typically stems I think from when when we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort of ideal
35:48as husbands or as wives or as as parents and very often the truth is very far from that the
35:58question
35:58people have to ask themselves is what do they want in their leaders do they want someone who
36:05errs but who learns from their mistakes who grows who recognizes the need for change who has a vision or
36:14or someone who is content to continue making the same mistakes and to keep things as they are
36:25really I think that's the clear choice that the people are faced with
36:32this desire for progression extends to many aspects of your work as Prince of Wales
36:43Prince Charles bared his soul to the nation last night in a television documentary designed to showcase his work as
36:49Prince of Wales
36:50and he appeared to have no regrets as he greeted onlookers today during his first public appearance since the program
36:57aired
37:00his aides were letting it be known they've been delighted with the response to his controversial television profile
37:06palace officials said they'd been deluged with calls of support the program contained a number of intimate revelations
37:14including the Prince's close friendship with Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles the admission divided viewers
37:19between those who felt it was a refreshing attempt to clear the air and those who felt the Prince had
37:25made an error of judgment
37:27there was no comment from Kensington Palace but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband
37:33by attending the serpentine galleries annual summer party this evening putting on a defiant display in what many are already
37:40calling her revenge dress
37:50the Prince and Princess remain focused on their public roles
37:54the Prince and Princess remain focused on their public roles
37:55but there is little doubt that the War of the Waleses has entered a new and more volatile phase
38:12in the publication in the United States
38:31and the Queen in the U.S.
38:48Reaction to the interview is divided
38:51between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king
38:55and should have had the good grace to stay silent
38:58and those that have been pleasantly surprised by what they saw and heard.
39:10Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general
39:15to Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus,
39:21rather than defender of the faith that has won most favor.
39:26His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies
39:31that are traditionally left unreached by the monarchs.
39:35It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician
39:39because the crown itself is a unifying symbol.
39:42It binds together a kingdom of four nations
39:46and a worldwide multiracial commonwealth, symbolically.
39:52Charles is frustrated
39:54because the crown has many of the functions of an inanimate object.
39:59He prefers to be animate.
40:01But there's a danger in that.
40:04One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:07One can end up undoing more than doing more than doing.
40:23The old hand.
40:30You're not eating?
40:33No, you don't have an appetite.
40:36I'm so surprised you do.
40:39Why? It's delicious.
40:43What's all this I hear about a book?
40:47The idea is to do a book following on from the interview,
40:51taking some of the points further.
40:53Why?
40:56Because a lot of the really important things I wanted to say
40:58about education and environment and architecture
41:01got drowned out by all the hoo-ha about adultery.
41:06Also, people are interested.
41:09Maybe you're not as interested as you think.
41:12Maybe more interested than you think.
41:16My postbag is anything to go by.
41:26In the 18th century, it was considered perfectly normal for the Prince of Wales to set up shop at Leicester
41:30House to generate fresh ideas.
41:34A shadow monarchy, in essence. A rival court.
41:37But this is not the 18th century.
41:41And creating rival courts is not what we do in this family.
41:45You close ranks behind the sovereign, not to criticize her.
41:52We're all after the same thing, Anne.
42:01Are you sure you won't have some of this asparagus?
42:04It's fresh from the garden.
42:22Good night.
42:25Good night.
42:39For years, I've doubted Charles.
42:44He wasn't strong enough.
42:46He wasn't strong enough.
42:49Tough enough.
42:52But look what he's just come through.
42:55First that phone recording, subsequent humiliation.
42:59Then that interview and subsequent criticism.
43:03It hasn't broken him.
43:05The opposite.
43:07He might be as mad as everyone thinks, but he's not as weak as everyone thinks.
43:15Charles I saw today was strong.
43:18Confident.
43:20Mature.
43:23Not only does he have what it takes for the job, in some ways he's already begun.
43:28What do you mean?
43:30For the past year, possibly more.
43:33Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court at St. James's.
43:40His own Camelot.
43:43His own advisors.
43:45His own modern, progressive agenda.
43:50He knows one day he will be King Charles III.
43:55And if we want to know what that will look and feel like.
44:00Well, he's starting to show us.
44:17The whole point of the Prince's Trust is to equip young people like you with the skills and the confidence
44:25to fulfill your dreams and ambitions.
44:30Now, you may think that someone of my age and background wouldn't understand young people in your communities and the
44:37unfair judgment of society that you sometimes face.
44:42Well, as it happens, I do understand a little bit about what it is to be criticized and judged.
44:51And I also know that those judgments are mostly not true.
44:57That people out there have no idea who I really am.
45:04I'm sure that each of you has something within you, an unacknowledged greatness, a talent that deserves to be recognized.
45:18And that's what the Prince's Trust is all about.
45:21To give you the confidence to believe in your ideas and the money to bring them to fruition.
45:29I want to reach those that have been overlooked, rejected.
45:35To make sure that you've been given a chance.
45:40Because it's only when we risk reaching too far that we find out how far it's possible to go.
